So if Chelsea wins the EL final and Bayern the CL final

Does this mean were getting a Pep vs Mou Super Cup showdown?

Better start running, Pepito.
 
Several Real Madrid players snubbed Michael Essien 30th birthday party last December even though the Ghanaian invited all of them, it has been revealed.

According to an English newspaper the Sun, the on-loan Chelsea star invited all his Madrid colleagues to his birthday bash but only a handful of them turned up.

The underwhelming response at the birthday party was just further confirmation for coach Jose Mourinho of what he knew already.

That his Real Madrid squad was a gathering of egotistical Galacticos more interested in themselves than the team.

And it was left to the Bernabeu boss to console his upset player.

He told the Ghana international that it was nothing personal — it was not that his team-mates did not like him and, sadly, it was not because they had anything better to do.

It was simply because they were more interested in themselves than anything or anyone else.

A superstar ego to go with their superstar talents. Mourinho was speaking from bitter experience because he had come up against it himself.

Players believing they were bigger than their coach, maybe even bigger than the club.

And Mourinho had to try to counter that attitude from day one.

Essien’s birthday snub was not the incident that convinced Mourinho he had to leave Los Blancos.

He had already made his mind up by then.

It was just the perfect example of the flawed philosophy that festered within the dressing room.

Really disappointed with Pep saying he is never returning to Barcelona, at the first sign of decline he disappeared faster than a crystal lizard in demon's souls. not only that but barcelona made him a player AND gave him the first team when none gave a fuck about his coaching credentials, very cuntish on his part. Lets not even mention how he took an already assembled bayern super team while taking away the rival's best player.

hoping now bayern wins the treble so the celling is so high for him to reach that he can only fail.
 
No move. There's no need to waste time with fans of the Portuguese Liga.

It's better to support a winners team than a losers team playboy.

Also those Portuguese Liga fans have seen European gold more times than you ever did. And when we sell our best players we get money for them, not peanuts.
 
Football Manager is like my Hulk power. It is currently contained, but believe me when I say it is a daily battle to not Hulk out and start winning back-to-back promotions left and right.

Whenever I am at risk I count the hours I have clocked up on Steam (2,000 over the last three iterations) and consider that it represents a fraction of my lifetime CM/FM play.

And then I close the window. And weep.

He'll have a good legacy to his name no doubt.

Smart man. Not a brilliant coach as his resume would lead you to believe, but definitely a smart man.
 
Also from Football Weekly:

I love Klopp. He is like the English teacher who makes you believe in yourself.

"What would you do for Klopp?"

"I would run through a brick wall for him. Head first."
"I would open a gate for him."
.... "I would tug him off."

If this is real, then yeah. It's what we always knew, bunch of fuckhead divas.

Banter all you like, but can you please refrain from using 'playboy.' It belongs in the carnival of fuckwittery that is MMA-gaf

Arsenal vs Portugal is the most random FootyGAF battle in a while

I back Arsenal



edit: Dat Crystal Lizard analogy lol
 
I haven't even played Demon's Souls and that analogy made me laugh.

The League is fucking awesome, btw. Four episodes in, I understand none of the NFL references and it's still hilarious.

His reign can't be topped. I don't blame him for not wanting to come back, honestly. But it's just talk at this point anyway.. he's still young and will be coaching for 25-30 more years at least I'd imagine. Lots of time to give it another go. If anything, he should feel allegiance to #BasedTxiki and #BasedFerran for giving him a chance alongside Laporta.
